I’ve had trouble choosing between different areas of study but recently I happened upon Stanford’s Symbolic Systems major which is essentially what I’ve been looking for!!! I’m interested in computer science and math and neuroscience, but also philosophy, psychology, and art (haha the only thing I’m not interested in economics and that’s only because I haven’t really explored it) and the Symbolic Systems major has concentrations that pertain to almost each of those interests. The only thing is obviously this is Stanford and realistically I’m most likely not going to get in so I was wondering if there were any colleges/universities you’d recommend that have similarly interdisciplinary majors?
*Inerdisciplinary majors that lean more to the STEM field haha
The Cognitive and Brain Science Major at Tufts is similar to Stanford’s Symbolic Systems Major
The acceptance rate at Tufts was 14% for liberal arts last year while Stanford was under 6%

^I was just going to say that the symbolic systems major sounds really similar to cognitive science at other schools. Cognitive science is offered at a lot of different universities.
The PNP (Philosophy-Neuroscience-Psychology) program at Washington University in St Louis might be similar.
Also many schools allow students to create their own interdisciplinary major.
